I am trying to decide whether to leave the coach in undercoat grey or paint it red.  I might run it in undercoat for a while and then repaint it. Hello The correct colour is Brinjal which is the name of a Indian chutney. I bought mine as a acrylic from the paint manufacturer Farrow and Ball. Our lo...

:lol: Brilliant! - you should have cloned them in photoshop so that he was giving his speech to a huge army of them! Nice teaser, I'll refrain from quoting what I think he might be saying so's not to give the game away :D Yes I should have allowed myself to be drawn along in the euphoria! In scenes...

With a impending new product launch from ACME Engineering, our Fred has called the ACME workers together to bless them in their endeavours and to receive their homage.

I see on the frames under the footplate there is a cut out for a switch, so I guess the receiver would live? Rob Rob,  my S/H Edrig came with a retro fitted R/C on the regulator. I added my own R/C to the reverser. The switch and batteries go under the cab, as you mention. The reverser servo goes i...

FOR PETE'S SAKE I've just recieved the laser cut chassis parts and the buffer beams are the only correct bits on it.  The footplate and main frames are 25% odd too small!  This renders them completely useless.  I've sent a less than impressed email. I bet you're not happy with that. BTW if you feel...

Also I tend to have too many things on the go at once and consequently have too many unfinished projects.

Hello all I seem to be more and more drawn to modeling in 7/8" scale. "Don't be seduced by the dark side, Luke!" Attached image shows on the left my new coach I am building , whilst on the right hand side is a 16mm scale coach I am also building. Trouble is that I tend to dabble in to...

Looks good, but with THAT name, where are the tulips?? Hello Brian Tulips and other flowers are sold in the flower shop, next to the bookshop here at the N.S.T.M, (National Steam Tram Museum) here in sunny Blackburn. This is not to be confused with the National Tramway Museum in Crich, situated in ...

I've finally got this project in hand.  Basically its a coal fired steam tram with a double acting twin cylinder ossy engine and a vertical boiler.  I built a chassis out of K&S brass but I kept changing ideas as to how to do it, by the time I finished it looked dreadful so I've put it to one s...

Hello all Well another new model comes along, this time from Roundcraft. Seriously though I spoke to a friend whilst running an engine at Elsecar and admired his new Roundhouse engine; to which he replied that he had built using parts from his bits box. This started me thinking and I reckoned that I...

Sorry about your loss (and move on) To quote the IT crowd... There is one thing I hate about leccy sound in an outline steamer and that's the fact that the noises arn't quartered to the wheels, to me they sound more like steam pumps constantly running, The deiseil loco sounds are far more convincin...
